the murderer of Maggie Albrecht was
lodged 10 jail at Newark, N. ] yester.
day morning. HIS name is Vncenzo
ParoEz, and he is an TIA ian. He was
arrested in Cansdl by Detective John
T. Reever, OF Newark, on Thursday
last. The arrest was kept profound
secret until the prisoner was safely
lodged in jail. Toward the latter part
OF the proceedings in the inquest be-
fore Coroner Williams, Prosecutor
Keen began to entertain doubts wheth-
er the inmates OF the Coates house
were actually guilty of the murder,
and later on he and the Coroner re-
ceiyed information which just fed
them in meking a more thorough ex-
animation into the Italian theory. De-
t.ctive Reever took charge of this and
At once had warrant issued charging
Vincepzo Parozz. with the muir
der, Parozzi's description CORE
ing with that given by the
inmates of the Coates house Of the
Italian who killed Maggie Albrecht.
Reever learned that Parozzi had fed
to Canada and the necessary papers
were procured for his extradition. On
February 18th Detective Reever left
for Canada. He visited several places
IN quest of the fugitive, whom be
finslly succeeded in tracking to South
Grace, small place several miles fr, m
Ottawa. Here he found his man,
working as a lsborer IN q railroad. He
secured his arrest by a Canadian eff
Ger, and it was determined to start at
once for the United States with the
prisoner before any steps could be
taken for his extradition under the
Ashburton treaty, as such proceedings
are tedious and expensive and it was
important to have the prisoner at
Newark as speedily as possible.
Rsever and the officer hurried their
prisoner to Prescott, Canada,
where they arrived on Friday
last. Fearing that the prisoner
might he cranky, and that
they might yet have trouble with him,
it was decided not to take him across
the st. Lawrence river on the regular
ferry boat, aud they chartered special
boat which landed him at Ogsdenburg.
They left OgsdenbuTg at an early Sat-
uTday morning and arrived at Albany
at 6 p m but were detained there un-
til 3 am. yesterday, owing to the
storm. The two officers with their
prisoner arrived in Newark shortly
! after 8 o'clock yesterday morning, and
were driven at once 10 the house OF
Prosecutor Keen on Broad street. Al
ter a brief consultation the Prosecutor,
the Ulcers and the prisoner re-entered
the carriage and were driven 10 the
county jsil, where ParoEzi was locked
up. Mr. Keen then determined 10
see whether the inmates OF the Coates
house could identify the prisoner as
the man who was in the house
on the night of the murder, and who
killed Maggie Albrecht. In order that
the Identification, il made, should he
so complete that there could be no
question about it, Mr.. Keen directed
Reever to go to the Italian quarters in
River street, get number Of Italians,
and bring them back to the Jail with
him. This was done, and nb ut thirty
prisoners, among whom were num-
Der of Italians, several Russians, and
dark complexioned men of other ma
tionalities, were brought out from
their cells and placed in one OF the
corridors of the jail with the River
street Italians brought In by Reever.
ParoEzi YVES brought out from his cell
and placed among them. Edward
Coates was then brought down from his
hospital room, where he has been held
ss a witness, and told to look around
and see if he could recognize any one
as the man who was in the house on
the night before the murder. 1t will
be remembered that Coates testified
that he was not in the house on the
night Of the murder, but that on the
Sunday previous he was there when
the Italian visited the place. Coates
locked around among the or Dup, close
ly scanning the faces of the forty per-
sons who com posed it, until he reached
Parozzi, when he stopped, placed his
hand on the prisoners shoulder and
said:
"This is the man. l would know
him anywhere"
Annie Clark was then brought down
from the witness room, not being told
of Costes's Identification of the muir
6eIer or even Of the fact that the MUIR
derer had been arrested. When she
arrived in the corridor, Prosecutor
Keen said:
"Annie, look around among these
men and see If you can see the one
who was with Maggie the night OF the
murder"
"Annie was very much agitated, and
trembled violently. She looked into
the faces of one after another of the
men, until she came in front of
ParoEzi, when she threw up her hands,
staggered back for an instant, and then,
rushing forward to the prisoner,
brought her hands down on his shoul-
ders with thud, and burst into tears,
sobbing out;
ooh, my God my God this is the
man. Oh, you devilp
She was then taken back to the wit
ness room, sobbing bitterly, and say
ing, "Ain't l glad they got him."
The most dramatic scene, however,
was when Nova Rogers, alias "Jew
Laura" was brought out. As soon ss
she saw the Italian she rushed to him,
caught him by the coat, and shook
him as a terrier would a rat, denounC-
ing him all the time as murderer.
This jail officials WIRE compelled to
tear her from him and take her back
10 Der cell.
The prisoner was then fully COM
mitted on a charge OF murder.
Detective Reever has in his posses
sion knife which is believed to be
the one with which the murder was
committed. 1t is a white handled
knife with long, thin blade, eight or
ten inches in length. Maggie, in her
dying n oments, told her companions
in the house tnst she YVES stabbed
with a long blsded knife with white
handle. This knife was found by De-
